  • Title: Magnetic resonance imaging in congenital facial palsy.
    Author: Sasaki M, Imamura Y, Sato N.
    Journal: Brain Dev; 2008 Mar; 30(3):206-10. PubMed ID: 17869466.
    Abstract:
    We report magnetic resonance (MR) findings in a patient with congenital unilateral facial palsy and a patient with atypical Moebius syndrome. MR imaging showed a complete deficiency of right facial nerve in the patient with congenital unilateral facial palsy and bilateral, thin proximal facial nerves in the Moebius syndrome patient. Three-dimensional constructive interference in steady state (3D-CISS) MR imaging, especially reconstructions perpendicular to the bilateral internal auditory channel, was very useful when diagnosing patients with facial palsy due to the associated facial nerve abnormalities.
